Rose and Eilis

Eilis O'ReillyRavenclaw Alumna-"The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outside of a person. But the Lord looks at what is in the heart."– 21:30, February 12, 2019 (UTC)

She grimaced. "That poor Minister guy got the word 'magic' out of his mouth, and my very devoutly Catholic," the word came out with some disdain, "parents wouldn't hear another word."

She'd give a little nod. "I can't say I've studied any religious faith in particular but if you look historically the church has had many conflicts with our world due to religious beliefs."

She nodded, thinking of the latest Minister. "Also true," she said with a grimace.

She would nod. "That's why I got a job where I just have to work on projects without worrying about doing anything with ethical implications."

Eilis O'ReillyRavenclaw Alumna-"The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outside of a person. But the Lord looks at what is in the heart."– 21:48, February 12, 2019 (UTC)

She nodded slowly. "You never run into people who think we should just keep everything the way it is?"

She'd consider then shake her head. "No not really where I work...but working at a tech company in the wizarding world doesn't really attract those people who are especially stuck in tradition either."

Eilis O'ReillyRavenclaw Alumna-"The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outside of a person. But the Lord looks at what is in the heart."– 21:51, February 12, 2019 (UTC)

She nodded. "That makes sense. I just meant... out and about but I see your point."

She'd nod. "I mean there are definitely those people in our community...especially the old blue bloods but it seems like most of the community is open to some change."

Eilis O'ReillyRavenclaw Alumna-"The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outside of a person. But the Lord looks at what is in the heart."– 21:54, February 12, 2019 (UTC)

She'd nod. "Mostly. I wonder when they'll stand up their own governing body and tell the Ministry here they're not going to cooperate anymore."

Eilis O'ReillyRavenclaw Alumna-"The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outside of a person. But the Lord looks at what is in the heart."– 21:57, February 12, 2019 (UTC)~

She'd shake her head. "No...just a local government. Cities have to have their own governing bodies and while they may answer to the Ministry still...if their policies don't let up on the people..." She'd trail off and shake her head.

Eilis O'ReillyRavenclaw Alumna-"The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outside of a person. But the Lord looks at what is in the heart."– 22:00, February 12, 2019 (UTC)~

"I suppose," she said nodding slowly. "Though if the Ministry is still above them, there's little they'd be able to do."

She'd purse her lips. "Maybe...but with the atmosphere the way it is it won't take long until there's some sort of revolt."

Eilis O'ReillyRavenclaw Alumna-"The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outside of a person. But the Lord looks at what is in the heart."– 14:15, February 13, 2019 (UTC)

She nodded. "I feel fortunate that for the most part... I've been left off the hunted list. It seems there aren't many who are."

She'd frown. "Why would you be hunted...unless you're a werewolf or something?"

Eilis O'ReillyRavenclaw Alumna-"The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outside of a person. But the Lord looks at what is in the heart."– 14:45, February 13, 2019 (UTC)

"I heard it wasn't just people who are part-creature, but also anyone who identifies as something other than straight."

"Oh so you're not..." She'd flush a little and wave her hand slightly unsure how to say it.

"Because the discrimination isn't okay? I'm fortunate enough not to be in a marginalized group... but I know many who are."

She'd give a small nod. She hadn't been affected too much either but also really hadn't gone out of her way to see those affected either.

Both Rose and Eilis' food arrived at the same time, sparing the awkward moment from lasting too long.

She'd thank the waitress and give Eilis a nod before taking a bite of her salad.

Eilis O'ReillyRavenclaw Alumna-"The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outside of a person. But the Lord looks at what is in the heart."– 14:34, February 19, 2019 (UTC)

After a few moments she'd sigh. "It's not like I think discrimination is ok but it's hard to see a way to actually make an impact against something like a government."

Eilis O'ReillyRavenclaw Alumna-"The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outside of a person. But the Lord looks at what is in the heart."– 16:06, February 19, 2019 (UTC)

She nodded. "I don't disagree. But that doesn't make it right." She paused. "And history is full of examples of corrupt, discriminatory policies being overthrown by the people. So, as you said, perhaps there will be an uprising."

She'd nod then pause for another minute taking another bite. Finally she'd say in a quiet voice. "I...don't know if something like that happened if I would be brave enough to...take a part or if I would just sort of...sit quietly on the side."

Eilis O'ReillyRavenclaw Alumna-"The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outside of a person. But the Lord looks at what is in the heart."– 16:06, February 20, 2019 (UTC)

"Being honest enough to admit a lack of bravery, as an act itself requires bravery," she said with a small smile. "Perhaps you can find some... small supportive role that doesn't require you to... take down walls or governments."

Eilis O'ReillyRavenclaw Alumna-"The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outside of a person. But the Lord looks at what is in the heart."– 17:32, February 20, 2019 (UTC)

She'd finally nod slightly, as if to herself, and look at the other woman. "What about you? Are you a hidden revolutionary?"

Eilis O'ReillyRavenclaw Alumna-"The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outside of a person. But the Lord looks at what is in the heart."– 22:25, February 20, 2019 (UTC)

"In certain ways," she said. "I don't believe that Muggleborn witches and wizards are being outlawed from Hogwarts... yet. But I'm sure it might head that way eventually. When that time comes... I'm not going to forfeit my job."

She'd frown. "...but working for the Ministry...doesn't that mean if you act out they'll just fire you?"

Eilis O'ReillyRavenclaw Alumna-"The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outside of a person. But the Lord looks at what is in the heart."– 18:12, February 21, 2019 (UTC)

She finished off her lunch and pulled out the coins to pay for it, including a tip. "Well, it was nice to meet you, Rose," she said with a smile.
